• Webinar & E-Learning 23 May 2019 Cooling your home: How to connect residential buildings to district cooling? (Webinar) - 29.05.2019 Demand for space cooling is set to rise to 30% of buildings’ electricity demand by 2050 with nearly 70% of the increase coming from the residential sector (IEA, The Future of Cooling, 2018). In both developed and developing countries, such cooling demand will bring numerous benefits to the economy and our health, but will have profound impacts on the environment and power system unless we shift from business-as-usual technologies. Governments around the world are turning to district cooling to…
• Webinar & E-Learning 8 March 2019 Carbon Reduction and Energy Efficiency in the Water and Wastewater sector (Webinar) - 20.03.2019 The linkages between water and energy consumption are significant. To produce energy, water is needed and, likewise, the provision and treatment of water requires the consumption of energy, in particular of electricity (ca. 60%). Reports and analysis demonstrated that the water sector is becoming more energy-intensive, while the energy sector is increasing its water-intensity. In 2014, 120 Mtoe of energy was used in the water sector only, and the growing global water use suggests that the…
• Webinar & E-Learning 11 December 2018 Global Growth Potential of Energy Efficient Data Centres (Webinar) - 11.12.2018 Data centres are among the most complex and energy-demanding facilities in the world. Currently, the world's data centres consumed 3% of global electricity with a growth project to 20% by 2025. These power hungry data centres are now responsible for 2% of global CO2 emissions, a similar share of the entire aviation industry. This value potentially will escalate to 14% by 2040. The economic and environmental ramifications of continued data centre growth provide the rationale for exploring more…
• Webinar & E-Learning 20 September 2017 Greening Internet Data Centres (Introduction)
• Webinar & E-Learning 14 July 2017 Greening Internet Data Centres: How to Unlock the Efficiency Potential (Webinar) - 12.07.2017 We are honoured to invite Alibaba, Danfoss and Huawei to share their unique insights and views on industry efforts towards data centre efficiency. With the massive innovations brought by the "Internet of Things", the world is becoming ever more connected. Increased internet activities involve tremendous amounts of data to be stored, and we are already witnessing mushrooming growth in data centres over the past decade. According to the Independent, the amount of energy consumed by the world’s…
• Tools 14 March 2016 UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY - Visualisation Tool The 2030 Agenda has set the of goal universal access to electricity by 2030. The challenge is significant. It involves reaching population with limited incomes, often living in sparsely populated areas, mostly in developing and least developed countries. Costs can tally. Taking into account local characteristics, this model finds the combination of technologies that can provide universal access to the population of every country at the lowest cost.The visualisation tool allows for further…
